“The traditional Spanish tapas with an English twist are much better than average”, say fans of this “tucked-away spot on the outskirts of a town surprisingly short of decent restaurants” – a big local favourite. It’s owned and run by Spanish-born Silvia and her husband, chef Brett Russell, who uses produce from his parents’ nearby smallholding; they added a bar for lighter bites last year. Top Tip – “lunch is a steal”.

A “great little Spanish restaurant” that “punches well above its apparent weight” with its “stylish” interior, “excellent tapas” (often notably original too) and “bargain set-lunch menu”.

“Very good Mediterranean cooking at a reasonable price” and “an incredibly friendly team to look after you” both win praise for this three-year-old, whose sharing plates approach is “somewhere between fine dining and relaxed bistro”. “It serves tapas in two sizes, often quite original (slow-cooked rabbit terrine with macadamia nuts, chocolate-coated venison with Jerusalem artichoke puree, etc)” and is “a welcoming place, with widely spaced tables”.

"Another amazing meal at Tierra Mar. It is clear to see how it is winning so many awards. Acclaim which is well deserved. All the elements on the dishes work together to heighten the flavors and excite the palette. I love the way you can tailor the menu to suite your appetite in terms of size and number of dishes. As well as the delicious food, the warm welcome and brilliant service is also worth note, and the little extra touches like complimentary bread to start and petit fours at the end of the meal which added to make it all extra special."
